Was this built with local labor?
LOL. Wouldn’t it be something if they imported a lot of Chinese to work on the railroad?
“TWEET OF THE DAY: CHINA BUILD’S AFRICA’S FIRST ELECTRIFIED RAILWAY”
Who is China Build?
…and why do they possess Africa’s first electrified railway?
Didn’t Chinese “coolies” build America’s railroads? And how much of the decline of rail travel/transport in North America was due to not keeping them around?
How the west was won.

Yeah, that’s the Hollywood version of it, to a tee… They also worked in lumber, mining, and other manual labor jobs…

What if things were different and we’d built up an army of 2,000,000+ Chinese descendants with American values and a desire to go back and knock over Mao like we did the Nazis and Japanese? How would the world have changed if China was a capitalist nation friendly to the West in 1945? Somebody oughta write a book…
Instead, we kicked out the hard-working intelligent folks and built up massive capacity in other so-called “races”, then poisoned them to buy votes for Democrats.
C’est la vie.
